    Trying to understand ... Please help!

    C section pouch

    Did anybody ever have success in losing or significantly decreasing the pouch you get after a c section?? I don’t know if all the tricks are just BS and if it’s just up to genetics, or if something actually helps. I feel like I’m just being naive and hopeful and there’s nothing that will help...

    Stupid question - calorie intake

    Probably a stupid question but I don’t know what the answer is. I know that a calorie deficit results in weight loss, simply as that. But, take the example of during pregnancy and post partum - eating 3,000 calories a day (no idea what I’ve been consumed, this is just a round number I’m...

    Postpartum symptoms

    Hello I’m currently 3 months postpartum and struggling and wondered if there’s anyone out there who feels the same or has gone through the same experiences. I had quite a traumatic birth which I’m not sure I’m over or come to terms with. I had a ventouse delivery and an episiotomy and I also...
